Auto repair shops are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from AI quoting are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.

Auto repair shops-grade AI quoting, shipped by people who've done it before.
What AI quoting actually does
Customers send a photo, a brief, or a voicemail – AI drafts a structured quote in your pricing format. You review, tweak, send. Quotes go out the same day, not next week.
- 01 Reads photos, voice notes, emails, and PDFs
- 02 Uses your pricing rules and current material costs
- 03 Drafts in your branded template, ready to send
- 04 Tracks win/loss to make the next quote sharper

Lay of the land
The two or three things that decide whether this works for auto repair shops.
- Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
- Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
How we build AI quoting for auto repair shops.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a auto repair shop business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI-generated quotes.

Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. For auto repair shops, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI quoting with a auto repair shop?
Most auto repair shops have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What does AI quoting cost for a auto repair shop?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Anyone else in this space using AI quoting?
Plenty. Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI quoting is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude Vision, Whisper, Xero, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
